Abstract:
The number and variety of large-scale biological data sets is ever
increasing, bringing new computational questions and problems with them.
An especially fruitful area of biological inquiry has been engendered by
the massive amount of sequencing data being produced by several new
technologies. I'll discuss the use of large-scale sequencing and
comparative genomics to find and understand functional parts of genomes,
and will touch on the use of microbial community sequencing to
understand microbial ecosystems. Both of these areas are important areas
of biological research with many computational questions buried within
them.
